She Made a Comeback as a Renowned Doctor - Chapter 217

a smile, “I’ll listen to you.”
“Then, are you going to come over after you’re finished?”
Waylon Lewis picked up a cup of water and took a sip, “Do you miss me?”
“Don’t joke around, I’m talking serious business here. Grandpa is in the hospital, and it
wouldn’ t look good if you didn’t show up.”
This was a matter of politeness. The Lewis Family was large, with numerous uncles,
aunts, and others who would surely come upon hearing the news of the old man’s
hospitalization. Alitzel Williams had specifically mention ed that as the eldest grandson
who was always absent, Waylon Lewis’s absence might cause gossip.

The Lewis family business was extensive and seemingly calm, but underneath,
countless schemes and power struggles were hidden. Countless eyes were watching
Way lon Lewis, eager for him to slip up so they could put him on trial, to drag him from
the CEO position. Hope Williams understood all this.
Waylon Lewis glanced at his watch for a moment when his secretary knocked and
entered, “Boss, President Kim has been w aiting for quite some time.”
Waylon Lewis slightly raised his eyebrows.
Hope Williams let out a gentle sigh, “You should get back to your work first.”
“I’ll come over,” came the mellow voice as the man rose from his executive chair, picked
up his cellphone , draped his suit over his arm, and strode out.
The voice of Thomas Hughes attempting to retain him still echoed from behind, “Boss,
President Kim flew back from abroad especially to sign this contract, he only has these
two hours of time, and we have been discussing this partnership for a long time, if…”
Waylon Lewis had already entered the elevator, his gaze turned ice - cold, and Thomas
Hughes immediately fell silent.
Hope Williams pursed her lips slightly. Knowing Thomas Hughes’s level of anxiety, one
cou ld imagine how important the contract was. Now with Waylon Lewis leaving people
hanging, the project might be blown.
Seeing Hope Williams slightly furrowing her brow and a subtle darkness swirling in her
black pupils, her tone softened even more to reassur e, “Don’t worry, I will come over
shortly, wait for me.”
Hope Williams softly hummed in affirmation, “Then I’ll hang up first.”
“Mhm,” Waylon Lewis nodded.
…
After Hope Williams finished her business, she returned to the old man’s hospital room
and, as exp ected, found it bustling with activity.
All the aunts and nieces had arrived and brought along a brood of younger family
members to express their excessive concern in front of the old man, though it was
unknown how much of that concern was genuine.
Alitzel Williams, standing at a back position, had an unpleasant look on her face.
Hope Williams pushed the door open, and Alitzel Williams noticed her first, pulled her
outside.

“What’s wrong, Mom?”
“Look at that crowd inside, acting so concerned for Gran dpa. If anything, they’re just
hoping Grandpa dies quickly so they can get a share of the inheritance during these
turbulent times. Christopher is abroad, Wyatt Lewis that damned kid is god knows
where, and Waylon hasn’t arrived yet. They are all gabbing a nd speaking poorly of him
in front of Grandpa. If Waylon arrives, they will all shrink back like dogs and not dare to
let out a peep.
Right, is Waylon coming over?”
“He’s on his way.”
“Good, let’s see what they dare to say when my son arrives,” Alitzel Wil liams glanced
back into the ward, clearly infuriated, “The one closest to Grandpa in there, ah right, that
one who’s acting the most concerned, his name is Isaiah Lewis, your great - uncle…”
Alitzel Williams proceeded to describe their “ugly” faces to Hope W illiams so that she
could recognize them.
“Got it?” Encouraging Hope Williams as they re - entered, “As Waylon’s wife, go in there,
say hello; we should at least keep up appearances. Grandpa is old and still hopes for a
harmonious family.”
Alitzel Williams c ontinued, “If they say something unpleasant, I’m by your side, there’s
no need for you to be nervous. If you don’t like what you hear, just ignore it. If you can’t
come up with a reply, you needn’t bother — I’ll do it for you.”
Alitzel Williams repeatedly en trusted Hope Williams with these instructions.
Hope Williams nodded lightly, “Yes, don’t worry, I remember.”
Alitzel Williams and Hope Williams entered one after the other, and the next second a
sharp voice asked, “Oh? Sister - in - law, who have you brought w ith you?”
Alitzel Williams took Hope Williams’s hand and introduced her to everyone, “This is
Hope Williams, Waylon’s wife. Hope, say hello.”
Hope Williams’s indifferent gaze turned toward the source of the sharp voice. It was a
woman dressed exquisitely, with a mole at the corner of her mouth that made Hope
recognize her instantly — she was the great - aunt.
Hope Williams politely greeted them in turn, feeling someone’s stare fixed on her.
She had felt this gaze as soon as she entered the room. Hope Williams l ifted her eyes
and furrowed her brows slightly as she looked to the side.

She saw a man sitting on a couch, fingers on his chin, his eyes intently fixed on her,
filled with scrutiny.
The impolite scrutiny made Hope Williams uncomfortable. Alitzel Williams subtly
stepped forward, perfectly shielding Hope from the unwelcome gaze.
After a moment of thought, Hope recalled a name from Alitzel Williams’s recent
introduction: Xavier Lewis, great - uncle’s youngest son, known for his lechery.
That look from earlier j ust made Hope feel more disgusted.
“Waylon’s wife? Sister - in - law, aren’t you deceiving us? Since when did Waylon get
married, and how come we didn’t know about it? Could it be that because neither
Waylon nor Wyatt showed up, you just found some random woma n and claimed she’s
Waylon’s wife to represent him?
Your family really is amusing. Grandpa gave almost everything of the company to your
Waylon, and now that Grandpa is sick and hospitalized, Waylon is nowhere to be found.
Dad, look at our Isaiah, knowing that you were hospitalized, he was so anxious that he
skipped lunch and hurried over to see you.”
Great - Aunt Amelia Bailey said sarcastically, stepping on Waylon while boasting about
her own son.
Alitzel Williams suppressed the anger in her heart. This ent ire family was crafty, always
voicing their discontent about the company being handed to Waylon.
Hah, it’s their own fault their sons are useless. If their sons were capable leaders, she’d
be happy to let Waylon hand over the seat.
Sadly, not one of their sons was of any use, and together they didn’t even compare to
one of her son’s fingers. What’s there to be sour about?
“Great - Aunt, you’re right. Waylon shouldn’t have been late,” Hope Williams replied
coldly.
“Hope Williams!” Alitz el Williams sternly called her name, questioning whether she knew
what she was saying.
Hope Williams gave Alitzel Williams a reassuring glance, calmly saying, “But it is
because Waylon is managing the entire company that he isn’t idle like my cousin here,
idling away his time, so it’s inevitable for him to be a bit late, isn’t it?
However, Grandpa, Waylon already called early this morning to send his regards, and
he just finished work and is on his way now.”

“This is the Lewis family. What right does an out sider like you have to speak?” Amelia
Bailey asked in a shrill voice.
“Little Hope is my granddaughter - in - law. How is she an outsider?” The old man asked
unpleasantly.
“Dad, what are you talking about? Is this woman really Waylon’s wife?”
